Drivers for the Aurora Fuse™
video capture card. Pro Tools users with certain configurations
of Pro Tools software, Apple CPUs and Aurora Fuse cards have
experienced intermittent stuttering in the output of QuickTime
movies to external monitors when their sessions rely heavily
on the host processor. Intensive host processor usage will
affect video playback on any system. To mitigate this condition,
Aurora has developed new drivers for the Fuse card which dramatically
reduce the stuttering previously seen with processor-intensive
applications like Pro Tools. Aurora

Header Investigator from Rail
Jon Rogut Software will allow the user to open WAV audio
files and display the header information and make changes.
The actual audio data is never changed… simply the header
information. This is useful if the user has accidentally
recorded audio while locked to an external digital clock source
so that the header sample rate is a mismatch to the actual
sample rate of the data – which causes the sound file
to play back at the wrong pitch. By simply changing
the sample rate in the header – the WAV files can be
corrected without having to retransfer or sample rate convert
the file. Windows application, freeware |
